Preface
In this 21st–century world, just “knowing” is not enough. Our dynamic and ever-changing world demands “thinking” skills. Learners need to be able to not just consume knowledge but also acquire higher-order thinking skills in various domains—be it in language, mathematics or general awareness—to apply that knowledge. This is the spirit and the recommendation of the NEP (National Education Policy) 2020.
It is in this context that UOLO has designed WISDOM, a 21st–century product for primary grade learners (grades 1 to 5) that includes all curricular areas—English, Mathematics, Environmental Science and General Knowledge. WISDOM strongly aligns with NEP 2020 in terms of its design principles and fulfils all recommendations of the NCF (National Curriculum Framework) 2022–23.
English: This section not only focuses in listening, speaking, reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary, but also hones the ability to interpret, analyse and communicate confidently. The task-based approach and frequent opportunities for collaborative learning provided in this section encourage learners to express ethical views, interact constructively, solve problems creatively, apply their knowledge in new situations, and take responsibility for their own learning.
Mathematics: This section introduces mathematical concepts through real-life situations and storytelling, connecting them to children’s experiences and transitioning smoothly from the abstract to the concrete. Clear explanations and simple steps are provided for problem-solving. This section supports learners at all learning levels. It includes extensive practice aligned to the levels in Bloom’s Taxonomy—from basic practice questions to thought-provoking and higher order thinking questions.
Environmental Science: This section focuses on conceptual understanding, critical thinking, application, and problem-solving skills, making learning about environmental science highly relevant in the context of the 21st century. Each chapter is filled with vibrant illustrations, relatable examples, interactive activities, hands-on experiments and stimulating exercises. All of these not only promote awareness around environmental sustainability and the SDGs, but also make learning about the world around us a joyous experience.
General Knowledge: This section focuses on enabling the learners to be well-informed individuals so as to navigate through the complexities of the modern existence, make informed decisions, think critically and appreciate the world’s diversity. This section is crafted in keeping with the principles of NEP 2020, emphasizing the need to develop in learners the respect towards fundamental duties and constitutional values, generating awareness on one’s roles and responsibilities in a dynamic world, and fostering a sense of national pride and global citizenship. It offers an informative and enjoyable learning experience, incorporating clear explanations, captivating visuals and abundant questions for interactive classroom engagement.

Heart
The heart pumps blood to all body parts. This blood supplies to other body parts. It also collects carbon dioxide and other different body parts.
Organs are different parts of the body that work together to help us stay healthy and perform all the activities we need to do. Organs are mainly classified into external and internal organs.
Have you ever thought about what would happen if our hearts stopped beating? It’s a bit scary to think about because we need our hearts to stay alive. Taking care of our heart by eating healthy food, exercising and feeling happy helps keep it strong. How do you think feeling good and taking care of our body helps us stay healthy?

Let’s Read
Talking Book
Emperor Akbar cannot find his necklace! It is lost. He is very sad. Who can help him?
‘Birbal!’ he calls. ‘We have a problem!’
Akbar tells Birbal about the lost necklace. Birbal listens carefully. Birbal has a clever plan. He brings a grey donkey to the palace. ‘There is a magical donkey in the next room! He will help us find the thief!’ he says.
Think and Tell
Can the donkey help Birbal find the thief?
clever: very smart minister: a special helper to a king emperor: a very important king palace: a place where king or queen lives thief: someone who takes something that belongs to another person without asking
He tells all the people in the palace, ‘Lift the donkey’s tail and say I didn’t take the necklace. The magical donkey will know if you are telling the truth.’
One by one, each helper walks to the next room. They lift the donkey’s tail.
There are many stories about Akbar and Birbal. They have been told for many years. Did You Know?
After everyone takes a turn, Birbal says, ‘Show me your hands.’ Everyone’s hands are black, but the cook’s hands are clean!
Birbal points to the cook. ‘He is the thief!’
Everyone looks at the cook. ‘Are you sure, Birbal?’ asks Akbar.
Think and Tell
How does the cook feel when Birbal finds out that he is the thief?
magical: to have special powers truth: something that is true takes a turn: gets a chance to do something
Birbal smiles. ‘I put black paint on the donkey’s tail. The thief was scared of the magical donkey. He did not touch it.’
The cook looks down. ‘I am sorry,’ he says.

A jungle is a place where many animals live. Look at the pictures. Colour the animals that live in a jungle.
Elephants are big animals. They have long noses called trunks. Let us read a story about how elephants got their trunks.
lion cow goat hen horse elephant
Let’s Read
In the deep, green jungle, all the animals live together. They are one big family. They look for food together. They eat together. They take a bath together.
Jumbo is Mumma Elephant’s cute baby. He is friends with all the baby animals.
Talking Book
Every night Jumbo snuggles up to his mother when he goes to sleep. One night, he asks, ‘Mumma, why do elephants have long trunks?’
snuggles up: lies close to someone
trunks: the long noses that elephants have
Mumma Elephant says, ‘It is a long, long story, my dear!’
Jumbo quickly opens his big ears. He asks Mumma to tell him everything.
‘A long, long time ago, elephants had short noses, like all the other animals in the jungle,’ Mumma Elephant begins.
‘Really?’ Jumbo asks with eyes wide open.
Mumma says, ‘ We had to bend down to drink water from ponds and rivers. We could never reach the mangoes and bananas on the trees. We could never spray water on our bodies.’
‘Oh!’ sighs Jumbo.
‘We have huge bodies. We eat a lot. There was not enough grass to feed the elephants.’
Think and Tell
Why were the elephants not able to reach the bananas?
‘We could not climb trees like the monkeys. We did not have long necks like the giraffes.’
‘Our animal friends helped us. The monkeys and giraffes always got us food.’
‘But, we needed more food.’
‘What did we do then, Mumma?’ Jumbo asks.
Think and Tell
Why do the elephants want more food?
‘Our monkey friends were very clever. They gave us an idea.’
‘They tied a rope to each elephant’s nose. They pulled the ropes up into a tree.’
‘The elephants were scared. But, they needed more food.’
‘The monkeys pulled and pulled and pulled!’
‘Pulled and pulled and pulled!’
quickly: fast begins: starts wide: (here) big and open spray: push out a stream of water not enough: too little clever: smart scared: afraid
‘All the animals came to help. Some helped the monkeys. Some helped the elephants. All of us had a great tug-of-war.’
‘Finally, Our noses started to stretch.’
‘Our noses became…LONGER…’
‘…and LONGER…and LONGER!’
‘There was big cheer in the jungle. All the animals jumped with joy.’
tug of war: a pulling game
Did You Know?
Elephants use their trunks to drink, eat and shower!
joy: happiness
‘The elephants opened their eyes to see their long noses.’
‘Your Grandpa was the first one to pick a mango from the top of a tree.’
‘From that day on, elephants have always had long trunks. We can now eat fruit from the tree tops. We can now spray water on our big bodies.’

We count forward for bigger numbers. We count backwards for smaller numbers.
Roy: Now I can see 22, 47 and 35. How do I know which is the biggest and the smallest?
Jenny: See the number grid. We see that 22 comes before 47 and 35. So, 22 is the smallest, and 47 is the biggest, as it comes after 22 and 35.
We can order them from smallest to biggest as 22, 35, 47.
We can order them from biggest to smallest as 47, 35, 22.

Comparing Lengths
Rahul and Raj were discussing the size of their pencils.
Raj: I have a longer pencil.
Rahul: No Raj, I have a longer pencil.
Let us put the pencils side by side, and then see.
Raj’s pencil Shorter
Rahul’s pencil Longer
Rahul has a longer pencil than Raj.
Now, Sara also wants to see if her pencil is longer or shorter. Let us compare the 3 pencils.
Raj�s pencil
Rahul�s pencil
Sara�s pencil
Measuring and Comparing Lengths
We can compare the lengths of different things to find which is shorter, longer, shortest or longest.
We can compare heights to find the taller, tallest, shorter or shortest thing.
Error Alert!
Tall Taller Tallest
How can we compare lengths of things which we cannot put side by side?
We can measure lengths of bigger things using smaller things like erasers, pencils and crayons.
Length of table = 3 pencils
Length of window = 4 pencils
So, the window is longer than the table.
Using Body Parts to Measure and Compare Length
We can use our body parts to measure the lengths of things.
Cubit
Handspan Feet Finger Pace
Let us look at more examples of comparing lengths using body parts.
Length of carpet = 8 foot spans
Length of table = 8 handspans
Error Alert!
Can we compare the lengths of the carpet and the table?
No, we should use the same body part to measure each of them.
Let us measure the length of the carpet using handspans.
The length of the carpet is 9 handspans.
So, the carpet is longer than the table.
Example 1: Tick () the longer box.

Comparing Weights
Rahul: Sara, my school bag is heavy!
Sara: But Rahul, my school bag is heavier!
How can Rahul and Sara find out which bag is heavy and which bag is light?
Heavy or Light
Things can be heavy or light. Some are heavy and some are light. We can compare the weight of things using a simple balance.
There are two sides of a simple balance. The heavier side will go down.
When both sides are balanced, things have the same weight. The weight of the green apple is the same as the weight of the red apple.
Example 2: Circle the heavier animal.
Write T if true or F if false.
a A brick is heavier than a flower.
b A pencil is lighter than a big rock.
c An apple is heavier than an elephant.
Ann puts 2 balls on a simple balance. Which is heavier? Why?
Comparing Weights Using a Simple Balance
Tinku, Minku and Riya were helping their mother to carry boxes. Riya carried the box easily. Rinku had difficulty in carrying it. Tinku was not able to lift the box.
Ball A
Ball B
Why can Riya lift the box so easily? Let us see why.
The weight of Riya’s box was 10 blocks. It was light.
The weight of Rinku’s box was 20 blocks. It was a heavier box than Riya’s box. The weight of Tinku’s box was 30 blocks. It was the heaviest box.
So, we can find the weight of things, using blocks. They are also called unit cubes.

Raj was filling a jug and a bottle with water using a mug.
1 jug = 5 mugs
What do you notice? Let us learn about it.
How Much Does It Hold
1 bottle = 3 mugs
Since the mug is smaller than the jug and the bottle, the mug has less capacity.
The capacity of the jug = 5 mugs. The capacity of the bottle = 3 mugs.
Capacity tells us how much water a container can hold.
Some containers hold more. Some containers hold less.

Oh no, he forgot to count.
Adding with 2-digit Numbers
There are 20 laddoos in 2 boxes and 1 is in my hand. How many are these?
To find out how many laddoos Ajju has, we need to add them all.
20 + 1 = 21
Adding a 2-digit and a 1-digit Number
We add by counting forward. Let us add some numbers in this way.
We can also add numbers by adding the tens and ones. 1 box = 1 tens. Follow the steps to add 20 + 1:
Step 1
Add the ones: 0 ones + 1 ones = 1 ones
Step 2
Write the tens: 2 tens
Both ways—counting forward and adding by the tens and ones—will give us the same answer.

His uncle was putting the same number of mangoes in the baskets.
There are 5 baskets. He puts 2 mangoes in each basket.
Basket 1
Basket 2
Basket 3
Help Rahul find the total number of mangoes.
Repeated Addition
There are 2 mangoes in each basket.
Basket 4
Basket 5
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10 mangoes in all.
2 is added again and again 5 times.
Adding the same number again and again is called repeated addition.
Think and Tell
How many mangoes will be in 6 baskets with 3 in each basket?
Example 1: Look at the picture. How many candies are there in all?
There are 6 + 6 = 12 candies.
Making Equal Groups
There were 5 baskets of mangoes. Each basket had 2 mangoes. Let us call each basket a group of mangoes.
Group 1
Group 2
Group 3
So, there are 5 groups of mangoes.
Group 4
Group 5
There are 2 mangoes in each group. So, we can call this 5 groups of 2 mangoes.
5 groups of 2 mangoes is 10 mangoes.
Example 2: How many groups of stars are there? How many stars are there in each group?
Group 1
Group 2
There are groups of stars. There are stars in each group. So, there are 2 groups of 4.
Skip Counting
When we are jumping the same number many times, we are skip counting.
Let us skip count the number 2 four times. We will jump on 2, 4, 6 and 8.
4 groups of 2 or 4 jumps of 2 is 8.
Let us skip count the number 3 three times.
We will jump on 3, 6, 9 and so on.
Meena took 3 jumps of 3 steps each.
We can also call this 3 groups of 3.
Remember!
In skip counting, we jump the same number of steps.
3 jumps of 3 = 3 groups of 3 = 9

Rahul has collected 12 coloured stones from the orchard. Rahul wants to share these 12 coloured stones among his 4 friends. How many stones will each one of his friends get? Is sharing good? Why?
Let us share the 12 stones equally among the 4 friends, one by one, till all the stones are distributed.
Each friend gets 3 coloured stones. So, 12 shared equally between 4 gives 3.
Example 5: Share 9 donuts equally among 3 children. How many donuts does each child get?
Distribute 1 donut to each child till all the donuts have been given out.
Each child gets 3 donuts.

Read the poem aloud with your teacher. Get Set
Hi! I am Rohit.
I am in school during the day, With my pets, I love to play.
I see birds in the sky and cats on the street,
I like giraffes with spots so neat. In the jungle or the sea, Animals are wonderful, let them free.
sea: a large waterbody
We see different animals around us. Different animals have different shapes and sizes. Let us learn about the different kinds of animals and where they live.
Types of Animals
Animals can be seen all around us. These animals do not look the same. Some animals are big, like elephants. Some animals are small, like rabbits. Some animals live in the forests, some live in the water and some even in our homes as pets.
Wild Animals
We do not see animals like lions and tigers around us. These animals live away from us in the forests.
Animals that live in the forests are called wild animals. For example, lions, elephants, deer and zebras are wild animals.
Do and Learn
Make a wild animal mask.
1. Take a paper plate. Choose a wild animal you want to make a mask for.
2. Outline the animal’s face on the paper plate using a pencil.
3. Take help from an elder to cut out the shape of the animal’s face.
4. Use crayons to make eyes, nose, and mouth. Paste an elastic string to both sides of the plate.
Lion Elephant Deer Zebra
Domestic Animals
Some people keep animals at home or on the farms. They keep them because they are useful. Such animals are called domestic animals. For example, horses, cows, sheep, goats and hens are domestic animals. A cow gives us milk and a hen gives us eggs. A sheep gives us wool. A goat gives us meat.
Pet Animals
Pets are special animals that we keep in our homes for love and joy. Dogs, cats, fish and rabbits are some pet animals.
Think and Tell
Do you or any of your friends have a pet? Name the animal.
Pause and Answer
Write the names of three animals under each of the headings.

Rivers, lakes, ponds and seas are homes to many animals. Animals such as fish, dolphins, octopuses, whales and seahorses live in water. A seahorse is not a horse but a kind of fish. Error Alert!
A lion in a forest. Cows on a farm.
Animals on Land and in Water
Have you ever seen a frog jumping on the road or swimming in the water? Some animals can live both on land and in water. For example, frogs, ducks and crocodiles.
Animals on Trees
Have you ever seen a monkey jumping from one tree to another? You may have seen a squirrel climbing a tree.
Animals like monkeys, squirrels and many birds live in trees. Birds make homes, called nests, in the trees.

Look around your home and school. Find plants and trees that are drying up. Water them.
Sources of Water
We get water when we open the tap at our home. But where does this water come from?
Water comes from different sources. Some water comes from rain that falls from the sky. Some water comes from water bodies like ponds, rivers and lakes. Rainwater fills these water bodies.
Water is also present under the ground. We can get this water by digging wells deep into the ground. We can also get this underground water using handpumps.
We should never waste water. We must save water and use it wisely.
water bodies: places on Earth that are filled with water
Pond
River
Lake
Well
Handpump
Drinking Water
We need water to stay healthy and strong. Drinking clean water helps us feel good and keeps our bodies fit.
But is tap water safe to drink? Sometimes, tap water is not safe to drink right away. We need to clean it first. We can make water safe by boiling it or using a filter.
We should not drink dirty water. It is not safe. If we drink dirty water, we might get sick. So, it is important to always drink clean and safe water.
Error Alert!
Boiling only helps to kill germs in dirty water. It does not clean the dirt from it.
We should store drinking water in clean vessels. We should always cover the water vessels. We should not put our hands in drinking water. It can make the water dirty.
Do and Learn

Air Occupies Space
Discuss!
What will happen if there is no air around us? Talk about it with your partner and share in the class.
Air takes up space inside things. It always tries to fill the space. Air takes up space in rooms and buildings. Air also occupies space in empty things like bottles, boxes and bags.
Air in an empty box Air in empty bottles Air in empty bag
Did You Know?
There is no space or thing which is empty. Anything that looks empty is always filled with air.
Air Has Weight
Take a cloth hanger and two balloons. Tie an empty balloon on one end of the hanger. Take another balloon and fill it with air. Tie this balloon on the other end of the hanger. Which side goes down? Why?
The hanger end tied with the air-filled balloon goes down. This is because the balloon filled with air is heavier than the empty balloon.
The balloon is heavier because the air in the balloon has weight. The balloon filled with air goes down. heavier: weighs more than something else
Wonders of Bharat

We use different vehicles to go to different places. We take cars and buses to go to some places like markets and school. For faraway places, we use a train or an aeroplane.
Moving from one place to another is called travelling. We can travel in three ways. Let us know about them.
Travelling on Land
Sheena and her mother are going in a car. The car is moving on the road! Many other cars and vehicles are also moving on the road. These vehicles help us go from one place to another. This is called travelling on land.
Remember!
When crossing the road, look left and right to make sure no vehicles are coming. This helps you stay safe!
We use many vehicles to travel on the land. Look at the pictures below.

Would you like to sit in an aeroplane or a helicopter with your friends? Why or why not?
Error Alert!
Some people think that aeroplanes cannot move on land. But aeroplanes can also move on land like other land vehicles.
We should check and service our vehicles regularly so they do not release too much smoke into the air. Too much smoke is bad for our health.

PROJECT 2
Air Powered Cars
Objective: To build a simple air-powered car. Things Needed: Plastic bottles, straws, balloons, scissors, pencils, tape or glue.
Step 1: Prepare the bottle
With the help of an elder, make a small hole in the side of a plastic bottle. Insert a straw through the hole. Tape the straw to the bottle.
Step 2: Add the balloon
Tape the neck of the balloon over the end of the straw tightly.
Step 3: Make the wheels
Take four bottle caps. Make a small hole in each of them. Insert a pencil through the hole in the cap. Use tape to fix it. These will be the wheels of your car.
Step 4: Attach the wheels to the car
Using tape or glue, attach these wheels to the sides of the bottle. Make sure they can spin freely.
Step 5: Blow air
Make a small hole in the cap of the bottle. Push the free end of the straw through this hole. Blow through the straw to fill the balloon with air. After the balloon is filled with air, put your finger on the end of the straw so that the air does not escape.
Step 6: Test your car
Place the car on a flat surface and remove your finger from the straw. As air escapes through the open end of the straw, it will make the car move.
Project Output: You have learnt to build a model of a car which can move by blowing air into it. Present it to your class.
Final Outcome: This fun project will help you understand how air can be used to create movement.
